So seems like my issue was the object tag - I used a simplified version:
<object data="myflash.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="myflash"
width="100" height="200">
<param name="movie" value="myflash.swf" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<param name="height" value="100" />
<param name="width" value="200" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="menu" value="false" />
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="samedomain" />
</object>
and it seems to work...

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] RE: Grab Textfield Value from Javascript
Thanks for the response - I have tried this and a search of the internet makes
it appear as though this is the tried and true method HOWEVER... in the FF
error console - I am getting (if it were your code below):
"....asFunc is not a function"
it is though it is searching for that function locally in the JS.... not sure
if I have a js browser setting off or not...

*In JS:*
mainFlash = document.getElementById('flash'); //id of the object element
mainFlash.asFunc(); //trigger flash with an external interface call
*In Flash:*
//Flash listens for asFunc in JS and knows to execute myFunc
ExternalInterface.addCallback('asFunc', myFunc); //my Func is an
actual function in my AS3;
myFunc will contain your script to grab the text in the TF and send
it back to JS.
